Sadness

I look into the non-stop blue and black sky at night
Seeing every star in sight
Until the sun comes arise
And opens up my eyes
I keep them shut tight
So, no one can tell that not everything is alright
But when darkness dies
I open my eyes
When I go to school
I play it cool
So that, when I hang with the guys
You can't tell that my emotional side cries
But, I hope after awhile, everything will be good
I don't see why it wouldn't, it should
